North Carolina Primary Sets Stage for Historic Governor Race

Voters in North Carolina have chosen their candidates for a governor race that could see the state's first Jewish or Black leader.

The North Carolina gubernatorial race is one of the most closely-watched in the battleground state, with Attorney General Josh Stein and Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson leading their respective parties.
Stein, endorsed by outgoing Gov. Roy Cooper, aims to continue Democratic policies and has raised over $19.1 million for his campaign.
Robinson, endorsed by former President Donald Trump, is known for his conservative stance on issues like Second Amendment rights and LGBTQ+ rights.
The race is seen as a bellwether for the November general election, reflecting North Carolinians' priorities at the federal level.
Both candidates could make history if elected, with Stein potentially becoming the first Jewish governor and Robinson the first Black governor of North Carolina.
